Evilyn was a prop I created for Zombie Island, an interactive scare house that took place at the Decibel Entertainment Expo 2015 (www.decibelexpo.com). Evilyn was made with mainly recycled materials: Papier-mâché, chicken wire, masking tape, kite paper, old phone book pages, cardboard rolls, etc. She took quite a beating as she was punched out of the way after descending onto the terrified, unsuspecting patrons. She survived unscathed and sits in my studio waiting for her next opportunity to terrify someone. Here are some Work in Progress pics of my first zombie creation 😎.

There was once a large, stretched canvas that I was almost sure was cursed as nothing I painted on it seemed to work. I painted a semi abstract nude in blue. That didn’t work. Covered it with white paint.

A few months later, I decided to do a knife painting of an old familiar favorite, Boissiere House, otherwise known in Trinidad as The Gingerbread House. That didn’t work either. Covered it with white paint.

A few months after that, I decided to “try ah ting” and do a knife painting of Bob Marley. It worked 🙂
